Operators
It seems that there might be a couple of types of model rail-
road operators. One type, and possibly the most common
for many layout owners, are members of the regular crew.
These are the ones who show up on a regular basis, maybe
once a month or more often, to operate a layout. They might
have also been involved in certain aspects of its construc-
tion. Regardless, they are intimately familiar with operations
on it, the owner’s vision for its operation, and all of the jobs
on the railroad.
I’ve never had a dedicated crew who operate my YV on a regu-
lar basis, although there are many modelers here in the San
6: This clearance card uses the same format as the
prototype.
